  • Tribute to Chuck Jones at the Museum of Modern Art. Animator
    NO. 25 The Museum of Modern Art FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modemart TRIBUTE TO CHUCK JONES AT THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART ANIMATOR WILL BE PRESENT CHUCK JONES: THE YEARS AT WARNER BROTHERS, a special four-day program honoring this famous animator and director of such stars as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, the Roadrunner, and Wile E. Coyote, will take place at The Museum of Modern Art from March 19 through March 22. The program includes a screening of 12 cartoons on Saturday, March 19 at noon, two showings on Sunday, March 20 at noon and 2:30 at which Mr. Jones will be present to discuss his work, and repeat showings of the Sunday programs on Monday, March 21 and Tuesday, March 22 at noon. The film programs, selected by Greg Ford, historian of the American an­ imated film, are designed to show Chuck Jones' development at Warner Brothers, where he was director of animation for 26 years. Jones began his career in a representational style heavily influences by Disney, but soon developed a more abstract, zanier style of cartooning, shown in "The Dover Boys" of 1942 with its lurched-tempo motion, and "The Aristo-Cat" of 1943 with its expression- istic backgrounds. It was during the fifties, however, while working with Warner's stable of cartoon stars, that Jones fully developed his style, based not on exaggeration but continual refinement. It is a "personality animation," according to Greg Ford, "marked by logical application of space, movement, and editing ideas, and by very subtle drawing that keenly deliniates character attitude." Among the films to be shown during this tribute are "What's Opera Doc," (1957), "Duck Amuck" (1953), "Ali-Baba Bunny" (1957) and "To Beep or Not to Beep" (1964).

XXVIII, 2 IX.-THE ENGLISH BALLADS AND THE CHURCH Many origins have been suggested for the type of nar- rative song appearing in the English and Scottish tradi- tional ballads: minstrel genesis, origin in the dance, im- provisations of media3val peasant communes, or descent from the dance songs of primitive peoples. The hypothe- sis of minstrel origin was that first to be advanced and it has always retained supporters. There remains a possi- bility not yet brought forward which deserves to be pre- sented for what it is worth, since the problem, though it may be insoluble, has its attraction for critic and student. WVe have but meager knowledge of the ballad melodies of pre-Elizabethan days, and we can get but little farther with the study of the ballads by way of research into medimeval music.

  • A Collection of Ballads
    A COLLECTION OF BALLADS INTRODUCTION When the learned first gave serious attention to popular ballads, from the time of Percy to that of Scott, they laboured under certain disabilities. The Comparative Method was scarcely understood, and was little practised. Editors were content to study the ballads of their own countryside, or, at most, of Great Britain. Teutonic and Northern parallels to our ballads were then adduced, as by Scott and Jamieson. It was later that the ballads of Europe, from the Faroes to Modern Greece, were compared with our own, with European Märchen, or children’s tales, and with the popular songs, dances, and traditions of classical and savage peoples. The results of this more recent comparison may be briefly stated. Poetry begins, as Aristotle says, in improvisation. Every man is his own poet, and, in moments of stronge motion, expresses himself in song. A typical example is the Song of Lamech in Genesis— “I have slain a man to my wounding, And a young man to my hurt.” Instances perpetually occur in the Sagas: Grettir, Egil, Skarphedin, are always singing. In Kidnapped, Mr. Stevenson introduces “The Song of the Sword of Alan,” a fine example of Celtic practice: words and air are beaten out together, in the heat of victory. In the same way, the women sang improvised dirges, like Helen; lullabies, like the lullaby of Danae in Simonides, and flower songs, as in modern Italy. Every function of life, war, agriculture, the chase, had its appropriate magical and mimetic dance and song, as in Finland, among Red Indians, and among Australian blacks.

In 1992, I was dawdling my way through a Ph.D. program in English at the University of Illinois. I had trouble focusing on my work that year, because back in my hometown of Buffalo, New York, my mother was dying of cancer. She was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1985, while I was still living at home but poised to start graduate school at Illinois in the fall. When my parents told me about the cancer, I said that I wouldn’t go to graduate school, that I would stay and care for my mom, but they said “No.” They were insistent that I begin my adult life and career, and they also realized that my offer to remain in Buffalo was based as much on my fear of an unknown direction for my life as it was in some sort of noble self-sacrifice.
